My 300 PRC barrel showed up two weeks ago too. Waiting on some ADG brass to go back in stock or the Lapua brass to come out next year. Almost tempted to buy the RCC brass. By the way I saw on another forum that someone can do some milling to put in an mlok if you have the older version MRAD. I don’t think it’s worth doing that.
I don't think it's worth milling the cuts for that reason alone, but if you're gonna have it refinished then why not? Mine came black and that was the last color I wanted. Cost to cut a few Mlok slots is actually about the same as the Cerakote job and it reduces labor time to do 'em simultaneously since you don't have to protect or touch up the finish where it was machined I'd reckon. I wanted it done in 20150 Coyote, same shit they use on the Mk22 --it's an "Elite" version of Cerakote and is supposed to be "better". The Mlok cuts will be like the ones on the Mk22 too, which are significantly easier to cut, not the later gen. civvie model Barrett also sells that retains the threaded holes.
I already sent the barrel off to Elite Iron to have the Sierra SD suppressor fit, I'll have to do this with the other two barrels when I get 'em too (.300NM 26" and probably .308 20" since I never adopted 6.5CM). I may get an extra 17" CF .308 bbl. later for use with a TBAC can to keep weight to a minimum since the rifle in that configuration is damn near weightless. I could be wrong but I'm willing to bet that SIerra SD can will run circles around the Barrett offering --Dale doesn't fuck around when it comes to precision or performance.
Barrel had to be turned down in order for the brake to fit, then the brake has to be matched to the suppressor itself. The can gets indexed to the rifle so that POI shift is always vertical, if at all. Same work was done on my .50 but it's direct thread with an indexed brake that can be swapped without use of shims to line it up. Dale's custom work is always the titties.
If the brake ports look familiar it's because Elite Iron is the one that makes all those brakes for Harris. Barrel looks like it was made this way, totally flawless. Dale doesn't do just suppressors, his custom work is out of this world and I'd love to have an integral something from his shop.
I'm not much for clones really and if I'd bought this rifle new I'd have gotten it in Barrett brown with the late gen. Mlok cuts with vents and threaded holes and wouldn't have had to do shit. But I got it on here for $4k said and done, folder, interchangeable barrels and small dia. bolt, so I couldn't bitch, I'll only be in for what, $4700 all said and done?
I'll post pictures after LRI sends the chassis back, they just sent me confirmation they got it. So you'll all get to see if it's worth it or not for yourselves. Maybe I'll have the 5-25 ATACR and Badger Condition One mount by then too.
